Reverse engineering the connector

A project log for Solder Ninja Tweezers

USB-Powered Soldering Tweezers compatible with Weller RTW Tips

Weller RTW tweezer tips seem to mate with the handle through a 5-pin connector from Binder.

A bit of reverse engineering gives us the following pinout:

  1. right heater,
  2. right thermocouple,
  3. ground,
  4. left thermocouple,
  5. left heater.

As with regular RT tips, the thermocouple shares one pin with ground.
